Honda has launched the 2021 BS6 CBR650R in India at Rs 8.88 lakh (ex-showroom). You’d probably expect to get more in return for the premium, but that’s not the case. The 2021 model makes less power than the BS4 bike and weighs more than the international model.

It comes with a switchable HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control), a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper and assist clutch, an LED headlight, tail light, and LED indicators. These aside, the CBR650R gets a full digital display with two trip meters and information such as fuel gauge and average fuel consumption, a clock, and gear position and shift indicator. 

Not to mention, Honda’s ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) technology which automatically activates the hazard lights in case of sudden braking and an Ignition Security System (HISS) -- Honda’s lingo for an anti-theft system.

2021 Honda CBR650R Engine

Strict emissions norms have taken a toll on the bike’s performance. While it uses the same 649cc liquid-cooled inline-four mill, it has been detuned to make 87PS at 12000rpm and 57.5Nm at 8500rpm -- 1PS and 3Nm less than the BS4 bike. At 211kg kerb, it weighs 3kg more than the international model. Expect the added weight to have a direct impact on the bike’s power-to-weight ratio. Other than this, the 2021 CBR650R remains unchanged.
